screen and adjust pressure of each tire properly. (The order of the tire pressure figures displayed on the screen does not correspond with the actual order of the tire position.) It can be difficult to tell if a run-flat tire is under-inflated or flat. Check the tire pressures as described earlier in this section. If the tire becomes under-inflated or flat while driving, the low tire pressure warning light will come on or flash continuously. Low tire pressure: If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pressure, the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate. Flat tire: If the vehicle is being driven with one or more flat tires, the low tire pressure warning light will flash continuously and a chime will sound for 10 seconds. The chime will only sound at the first indication of a flat tire and the warning light will flash continuously. When the Flat tire warning is activated, have the system reset and the tire checked and replaced if necessary by an INFINITI dealer. Even if the tire is inflated to the specified COLD tire pressure, the warning light will continue to flash until the system is reset by an INFINITI dealer. If the low tire pressure warning light comes on: Do not exceed 55 MPH (88 km/h). Increase your following distance to allow for increased stopping distances. Avoid sudden maneuvers, hard cornering and hard braking. Do not tow a trailer. Do not drive at speeds above 55 MPH (88 km/h) and do not drive more than 50 miles (80 km) with a punctured run-flat tire (if so equipped). The actual distance the vehicle can be driven on a flat tire depends on outside temperature, vehicle load, road conditions and other factors. Drive safely at reduced speeds. Avoid hard cornering or braking, which may cause you to lose control of the vehicle. Do not tow a trailer when a run-flat tire is flat. WARNING Although you can continue driving with a punctured run-flat tire, remember that vehicle handling stability is reduced, which could lead to an accident and personal injury. Also, driving a long distance at high speeds may damage the tire. CAUTION Never install tire chains on a punctured run-flat tire, as this could damage your vehicle. Avoid driving over any projection or pothole, as the clearance between the vehicle and the ground is smaller than normal. Maintenance and do-it-yourself 8-41

properly. (The order of the tire pressure
figures displayed on the screen does
not correspond with the actual order of
the tire position.)
It can be difficult to tell if a run-flat tire is
under-inflated or flat. Check the tire pres-
sures as described earlier in this section. If
the tire becomes under-inflated or flat
while driving, the low tire pressure warning
light will come on or flash continuously.
Low tire pressure:
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the low tire pressure warning
light will illuminate.
Flat tire:
If the vehicle is being driven with one or
more
flat
tires,
the
low
tire
pressure
warning light will flash continuously and a
chime will sound for 10 seconds.
The chime will only sound at the first indi-
cation of a flat tire and the warning light
will flash continuously. When the Flat tire
warning is activated, have the system reset
and the tire checked and replaced if neces-
sary by an INFINITI dealer. Even if the tire
is inflated to the specified COLD tire pres-
sure, the warning light will continue to
flash until the system is reset by an IN-
FINITI dealer.
If the low tire pressure warning light comes
on:
O
Do not exceed 55 MPH (88 km/h).
O
Increase your following distance to
allow for increased stopping distances.
O
Avoid sudden maneuvers, hard cor-
nering and hard braking.
O
Do not tow a trailer.
WARNING
O
Although you can continue driving with a
punctured run-flat tire, remember that
vehicle handling stability is reduced,
which could lead to an accident and per-
sonal injury. Also, driving a long distance
at high speeds may damage the tire.
O
Do not drive at speeds above 55 MPH (88
km/h) and do not drive more than 50
miles (80 km) with a punctured run-flat
tire (if so equipped). The actual distance
the vehicle can be driven on a flat tire de-
pends on outside temperature, vehicle
load, road conditions and other factors.
O
Drive safely at reduced speeds. Avoid
hard cornering or braking, which may
cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
O
Do not tow a trailer when a run-flat tire is
flat.
CAUTION
O
Never install tire chains on a punctured
run-flat tire, as this could damage your
vehicle.
O
Avoid driving over any projection or pot-
hole, as the clearance between the ve-
hicle and the ground is smaller than
normal.
